The Future of Search Is Already Here

These is the sorts of things that would be really useful. "SnapTell: a mobile and iPhone app that lets you photograph a book, CD or game cover and it'll recognise it..." And "Shazam, a music recognition application that will identify a piece of music that's playing out loud..." Instead of looking up birds in a bird guide, carry a little device that listens... every time a bird chirps, it would show you the name of the bird (useful for those scary nights in the forest... I can picture campers looking at the screen while in their tent... 'twig snapping'... 'white owl'... 'porcupine' ... 'grizzly bear'...).
